Well I have loads of ideas for Epic Elementals (including a bunch of cool ones in the Bestiary). But not sure I have the full structure in place as yet for elementals of each dimension, at least not one I am happy with. It's like I have all the pieces, but just not sure what order to put them...

I'm okay with sharing the core rules. Not so sure about the individual Epic Spells, Artifacts and Dimensional Forging Materials though.

I don't think it will need much conversion...if any, to fit 3.5e/Pathfinder. Point noted about the OGL though. I'm more familiar with the OGL, so maybe I will stick with that.

I was thinking Creative Commons and then other people can use these Rules in other books - which would be cool. That said I haven't made a final decision on that. What do you guys think?

I knew some of you are just going to go crazy with it. :love: Well there's 'planned' and then there is 'likely to show up in a book'. I have angels up to Divine Rank 26. But to make them more interesting I have a sort of Dimensional Flip going on where the Angels of the Astral Sea would be...

I think stopping at Divine Rank 30 was the best fit. It sort of parallels the official rules with 30 creature Challenge Ratings. I mean I know some of you guys will want to play all the way to Divine Rank 30 and beyond, but I think it works best to be taking on threats more powerful than the...

The highest detailed rank is Divine Rank 30 (the Supreme Being) and is effectively just a metaphor for the Games Master. There are hypothetical ranks beyond that I have plotted out but it all gets a bit meta-meta after that. If I can get a few books under my belt with these rules I might tackle...

You are probably talking DR 18/CR 84-ish to casually destroy a Galaxy (in my rules), though I am sure it could be done at lower power levels with prep/Epic Spells/Items etc. A Demiurge would be CR 88-96 (Divine Ranks 19-21). With CR 100 being a full 'Monad'. Technically DR 19-22 (Eternal Tier)...

Was a bit pushed for time earlier. One of the problems with the Kardashev scale is that a lot of 'humans' in sci-fi are still just human. So you have to make a separate case for those kitted out in cutting edge tech/bio-upgrades, weapons and armour. Eventually these things all seem to merge...

I think I am right in saying they would be 3.5 to 4 on the Kardashev Scale. But the disparity is always distinguishing between the race itself and technology. I think my preliminary thoughts are the CR of 'soldier's would double over Kardashev scales 0.7 - 5. 0.7, Modern Marine = CR 3 1...

Those all sound like really cool ideas, although I still think isolating ranks is just giving you (the designer) and the GM some combination of more work/less options. You are giving yourself exponentially more work with this approach... ...but you do love designing monsters. :+) D&D is...

Cool. I would say Challenge Rating is 2/3rds Level. So Level 36 = CR 24 = a Demigod (Very powerful). With Ainz effectively a Lesser Deity summoning 5 Demigods is unbalanced - though it does require a sacrifice of 10,000 souls per Dark Young. Typically summoning 5 Demigods would be a Level...

We have multiple ways to convert that character to my system. Levels do not increase beyond 20th in my system, but each Divine Rank (in game terms) is roughly +5-6 Levels. So Divine Rank 4 is approx. Level 40-44. Divine Rank 4 means a mortal caster that could cast 9th level spells would have 4...

Ah okay. So an Intermediate God could never fight a Greater God in your system? But doesn't that mean you alienate the other ranks and previous monsters from your own Immortals play and thus require infinitely more new monsters to actually 'flesh out' each rank? Officially Epic characters...

I use Dragonball as the benchmark, but I have also factored things like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. So you should be able to duplicate any character from Anime using this system. The tiers are set up to scale to different levels of Collateral Damage: Atomic, Continental, Cosmic (Planetary/Stellar)...

It's interesting how you took a different approach buddy. However, how do you know each of your ranks is x10 better than the last? At first glance your Hierarch seems on par with my Quasi-deity...which is only equivalent to 3 epic characters. Also wouldn't that mean your Rank 2 Balor is 100...

Even 1E technically had Intermediate Deities - they were just called Greater Deities who were not the Pantheon Heads. I have 30* Divine Ranks, I just didn't list them all. ;) 30 Divine Ranks sort of paralleled the 30 Challenge Ratings of the Core Rules. *42 if we count my Hypothetical...

Epic Tier Divine Rank 0 = Epic Tier Character Divine Rank 1 = Hero-deity* Divine Rank 2 = Quasi-deity* *Divine Ranks 1 & 2 are considered Godlings, not full immortals Immortal Tier Divine Rank 3 = Demi-deity Divine Rank 4 = Lesser deity Divine Rank 5 = Intermediate deity Divine Rank 6 = Greater...

Hey there Arcanist amigo! Well the Camel is Challenge Rating 40 (my CR 40 that is), so in a straight fight its a Hard Encounter for 6 Lesser Deities...although I'd say 4 for a really well optimized party. There are a bunch of monsters in its vicinity: Giga Fleas, etc. But most would be...

I don't know if we are going to hit any Stretch Goals. If we do hit any I'll make sure and replace the art I am least happy with - So it will be a win-win. As to potential delays (end of Kickstarter and getting new art commissioned) let me tell you a weird story... ...About 18 months ago I...
